Company Background
In the winter of 1992, Phil Chaimberg, President of Swing Paints, was undergoing treatment for a chronic knee injury at a clinic in Montreal, Canada. The clinic used Electronic Muscle Stimulators (EMS) to aid in injury repair and in cosmetic muscle strengthening.

In discussion of his chronic injury, Phil mentioned that he used a bag of frozen peas (in place of an ice bag) as a follow up to his regular treatments. Because of the nature of the frozen food package, the cold teatment could be applied with even pressure that would conform to the knee and then relieve discomfort. Phil jokingly called the process his "thera-pea" , and a new company NORSK Fitnes Products inc, and a line Thera-P, were born.

Today, Thera-P has well-established international distribution channels and its complete line of cold/hot compression wraps is available in Canada, the United States, France, England, Portugal and Japan.

Corporate Bio
